The paper proposes to highlight the condition of women in Indian scenario and will stress on the unequal treatment meted out to them. Even in the twenty first century the condition of women is the same and the society is still reluctant to adopt them as equals. Women are facing harassment and violence everywhere. Rigid customs and unequal social laws of the patriarchal culture and conservative society are the obstacles in their way and hence the cause of their subjugation. Vijay Tendulkar, a dramatist of merit and great craftsmanship depict the condition of women in Indian scenario with great precision and accuracy. The paper will focus on his drama, Silence! The Court is in Session, which holds a mirror to the conservative society where a woman is more of a pleasurable thing than a human, where she is an outsider in her own space. The present paper is the reflection of the female struggle for expression both physically and emotionally in a patriarchal Indian society dominated by men.
